I am a star
My excellent friend Mr Mike Smith has done me the very great honour of depicting me and the Main Squeeze in a very funny and clever Archers-related strip on his website. It is here. Go and read it - and then tell him in the comments how he's failed to fully capture the athletic majesty of my finely honed physique...
Then you might want to dig through his excellent back catalogue.

possibly a repeat bear, or maybe not
Erm ... not actually sure if I've put this up before but I just stumbled over it while tidying up my desktop and liked it enough to bung it up (again?) regardless...

I meant that question about the late Richard Whiteley affectionately, by the way. I would phrase it differently now, though the conundrum at its heart remains, in my view, unresolved.

Ooh, now, here's a thing...
I long believed that, as suggested above, "There's nothing so funny as human suffering" was, indeed, a quote from Samuel Beckett. However, in these modern days of internettedness when all things are easily checkable I cannot now find any supporting evidence for this belief. Can anyone help me out? Did Beckett really say it (and if so, where)? Did someone else say it and at some point my wonky brain has misattributed it? Did Beckett (or someone else) say something similar but not quite that?
Or have I just made the whole thing up myself and blamed a dead Irishman so as not to appear misanthropic myself?
Help!
